CCEPD: Stakeholder Input Requested on Inclusion of People with Disabilities in California's Health Workforce November 18th, 2013
Your stakeholder input is requested on inclusion of people with disabilities in California’s Health Workforce (Online Surveys). Please also share these surveys with your networks.
The California Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities (CCEPD) is focusing our efforts this year on the health services sector. Jobs in California’s health services sector are slated to grow 27% by 2020 in order to meet the health care needs of the state’s growing and aging population (Recovery 2020: Job Growth and Education Requirements through 2020). California faces the challenge of supplying the number of qualified, skilled health care workers needed to meet the growing employer demand. The representation of people with disabilities in California’s health services sector is currently 3.7% (U.S. Census Bureau, Current Population Survey-2012 Data Compiled by: EDD-Labor Market Information Division, Date: August 2013).
As the statewide body charged with advising the California Secretaries of Health and Human Services and Labor and Workforce Development on all issues related to the employment of people with disabilities, one of the Committee’s objectives this year is to learn from employers, services providers, students and job seekers with disabilities about the barriers to and best practices in assisting people with disabilities to secure a career within California’s health services sector. Information gathered from these surveys will assist the Committee in the development and prioritization of policy recommendations.
If you are, or know of, an employer in the health services sector, a service provider helping people get jobs in this sector, a student or graduate interested in a career in this sector, or a current health care professional, please complete one of the surveys below.
The survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. We would like responses to the surveys by Monday, December 2, 2013 but will accept responses until April 30, 2014. If you have any questions or additional feedback, please contact: [email protected]. Thank you for taking the time to complete the survey and/or share them with your networks!
